Delivery/Location: Fort Collins
This course is offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Colorado State University.
Participants will enter the world views and value systems of the teachers of Hindu, Buddhist, Confucian, Taoist, and Shinto traditions. This means temporarily living in their lives, moving about in them delicately, without making judgments. In order to enter these worlds without prejudice, we must lay aside the views and values we hold for ourselves.
Noncredit courses do not produce academic credit nor appear on a Colorado State University academic transcript.
